I really enjoyed the theming and story of this room, but there were a couple of detractors that really hindered the experience. I am a huge fan of splits starts, but the communication system here was terrible. It is extremely unfun to have one person site at a communication station with the sole purpose of relaying information back and forth. This might've been alleviated with a longer cable, but I still think it could be done so much better here. My other gripe was the egg "puzzle" that really felt more like a task of repetitions than anything logic based. It wasn't anywhere near as annoying as the communication system in the first room though. Once the game progressed out of the first rooms, it became much more tolerable. The ending was super cute and made everything worth it.

The look and feel of the room was nicely done. We were not a fan of the split start. It was difficult to communicate with our other half because only one person could listen at a time. The use of projections is well done and help add to the story. The puzzles were few and far between. The room was more a do this and place that than really figuring out puzzles.

Solid room with standout puzzles! The gameplay was all right and overall a fun time. Manageable with a larger group, which is sometimes hard!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a mission debriefing Operative! We appreciate you saving Nessie!! Lab at Loch Ness is typically the most challenging for Operatives during the split start because of the need to rely on communication skills, but keep in mind that each mission is designed with it's own unique challenges.

I really appreciate a room that starts your team separated. It made for a fun communication barrier that needed to be overcome. The decor and story of this one is lesser than the other rooms at The Bureau. While we had one technical issue, overall this was a solid room. 4th favorite of this location.

As always with the bureau, the set was very cool and super immersive! There was one prop that had a confusing amount of components, most of which were completely unimportant, so I didnβt like that as much. But I loved having our party split up at the beginning to and have to communicate with each other!
Starting in separate rooms but having to communicate to each other was fun! A little disappointing when you solve one thing but it doesnβt do anything until you solve another puzzle. Wish there was some sort of indication that you got the first puzzle right so we didnβt keep questioning whether or not we got it right when we felt like we had it.
A really cool set, with some fun props!
Bobby was so sweet and even came and chatted with us after about something we thought might have not worked quite right for us.

First game at The Bureau and we loved how immersive it was! The room was really easy and linear, with pretty clear instructions on how to get from one thing to the next, but i had to give it a heart just for how well they kept to the theming!

Not my thing. Game was super easy and everything felt like a task. Not much in the way of actually solving anything. Room wasnβt fully reset and the split in the beginning felt unnecessary. I get this locations while identity is no locks, but a few locks probably would have helped. This also had one of the longest, most tedious puzzles Iβve ever done. Iβve heard good things about their other games so I would like to give this venue another try.
Not really, not much solving mostly tasks. Not everything was reset and one of the puzzles was exceedingly tedious and not fun.
Very neutral staff.

They purposely try to confuse you on the location which frustrates you right off the bat.

It was a split start so I definitely recommend dividing the party in a way that has people with experience on both sides. There wasnβt a lot of puzzles so a group of 4 is recommended.

Things were located at different heights throughout the room which wouldβve made it difficult for people with mobility issues. Not a huge reliance on color. I cannot imagine doing this room with hearing impairment because a key component is verbal communication with people you cannot see.
